Beatrice Faverjon, a French designer, initially pursued a career in directing before transitioning to ceramics and interior design. During the COVID pandemic, she seized the opportunity to purchase a dilapidated redwood house in Kauai, built in 1973. Despite its neglected state, she aimed to preserve the homeâs original beauty through careful updates, highlighting its architectural significance. The renovation reflects her appreciation for the blend of Hawaiian, West Coast, and Japanese design elements while enhancing its function and aesthetic appeal. The house is also available for vacation rentals on Airbnb.
"I wasn't able to fly to Kauai then, so I asked my real estate agent to visit the house on my behalf and FaceTime me."
"I wanted to protect the house's original beauty and give it a new life at the same time, while respecting the strong symbiosis between Hawaiian architecture, West Coast modernism, and Japanese heritage."
